Hannah Maxwell: BABYFLEAREINDEERBAG
A focus group. A pitch meeting. A show like no other. The sell-out sleeper hit of Edinburgh Fringe lands in Adelaide, clipboard and clicker at the ready.
Maxwell needs her next autobiographical theatre show to be a rampant success. She needs YOU for some intensive audience research: which of her personal traumas is most likely to get adapted by Netflix?
In an era hungry for the next smash-hit overshare, BABYFLEAREINDEERBAG kicks over the bucket of ideas Maxwell can’t yet bring herself to make a show about, interrogating the risk and cynicism in telling one’s own story onstage.
★★★★★ "A triumph!" To Do List
★★★★★ "Bluntly, this production is incredible" Binge Fringe
★★★★ "Funny & delightfully meta" The Guardian
★★★★ "A delicious refusal to beg for a seat at the table" The Scotsman
